Just when I thought that going to a new school could be a fresh start for me, I realise I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only has my almost-boyfriend dubbed me “The Queen of Freaks,” but it turns out I’m way more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined. That would be all well and good if everything was as it should have been at the Winterwood Academy but what most people don’t know is that there’s danger inside the walls of the Academy far worse than anything we might face outside the Wardings. Students are dying, and other than my super hot sidekick, I’m the only one who knows that there is a serial killer on the loose. When my newfound powers attract the attention of one of the most dangerous witches the Winterwood Academy has ever seen, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it out alive.

Winterwood Academy Book 2: Buried

You are next, Brianna Winterwood. The Goddess’s voice came to me, and although her words were terrifying, there was something soothing about her tone. Do not fear. I shall be with you.


The familiar sensation of Zoe shaking me awake pulled me from my dreams. I came up with a rush as though I had hit the surface of a deep body of water.


“What? What is it?” I gasped as I scrambled to get a grip on something, anything that would tell me I was awake and okay.


“Do you hear that?” Zoe asked even as I opened my eyes and blinked several times in an attempt to get used to the gas light that was flooding the room.


I definitely heard it. The low, droning tone of bells ringing. It danced in through the open window.


“What is it? What’s going on?” I asked as Zoe hurried to the window and pulled back the curtains to look outside.


“I have no idea, but they only ring the bells for something serious,” Zoe said.
